dowel rod woes
Posted: Fri Dec 31, 2004 12:49 pm
Hello folks. I broke a stummel the other day by trying to place it on a dowel rod!
What material do you use for your dowel rods? I have tried using pine which was so soft that it would indent and create a shelf where the bowl rim meets the dowel rod and I have tried using oak which didn't dent but also I couldn't get the pipe to stay on (maybe I had the wrong width)? Eventualy I tried so hard that I broke the stummel up the middle of a pretty nice pipe!
What do you guys do?
